This year ESO (Evangelism/Social Outreach) has set aside the whole month of November to honor, remember, recognize and appreciate those who have served and those now serving. Their sacrifices enable us to enjoy the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted. We will have a pamphlet on the table in the narthex with suggestions or ideas on what you can do for each week or see Military Appreciation Month. For those of you checking your daily reminder sheets, these are D4, H3, H4, & H9. Contact Karen Kranz or any member of the ESO team for information.
HOMEFRONT WEEK NOV 1-‐9

Lessons for Sunday, November 9
First Reading: Amos 5:18–24
In the days of Amos people thought that the day of the Lord would be a time of great victory, but Amos announced that it would be a day of darkness, not light. He said liturgy is no substitute for obedience. The Lord demands justice and righteousness in the community.
Psalm (ELW): Psalm 70
You are my helper and my deliverer; O LORD, do not tarry. (Ps. 70:5)
Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18
Some of the Thessalonians are worried that dead Christians will be excluded from the resurrection to eternal life when Christ comes again. Paul reassures them with the word of hope that all Christians, living or dead, will be raised into everlasting life with Christ.
Gospel: Matthew 25:1–13
Jesus tells a parable about his own second coming, emphasizing the need for readiness at all times.
